Hi everyone! I finally finished the chapter, it was getting really, really long so I split it into 2 chapters. I tried to add a little hanky panky for all the smut fans and I hope I did it justice. I've added my homages to different stuff throughout the chapter so look out for those. Once again all the legal stuff belongs to Ryan Murphy & FOX except my characters. So please read, review, rewind, then read and review again…enjoy!
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
Rachel stood centre stage of the massive Broadway theatre belting out the iconic song in one of her last rehearsals before opening night. Even though the theatre currently had only about fifty or so people running around inside she couldn't help but imagine the place filled to capacity. Everyone on the edge of their seats feeling every word, every emotion alongside her, drawn into the story the same way she was as a bright eyed girl idolising Barbra Streisand.
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more
It cost me a lot,
But there's one thing that I've got, it's my man
Cold and wet tired, you bet,
But all that I soon forget with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him...
Oh, my man, I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right...
No matter how many times she would sing this song, this song would always invoke feelings and emotions of her relationship with Finn. A montage of their history would always play through her mind whenever she listened to or sung the lyrics. She would see herself as that young fresh-faced ingénue who obsessed over and would wish upon anything that she could; that the handsome quarterback would at least notice her. The montage went through all their fights, breakups and makeups all the way through to the present day.
Rachel finally understood the importance or power of the line, 'what's the difference if I say I'll go away, when I know I'll come back one day; for whatever my man is, I am his forever more'. That line explained Finn and Rachel's tether to a tee; it was obvious to the both of them that the unseen powers that be wanted Finn and Rachel to be side by side in their walk through this life.
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knee someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more... end of lyrics
She let in a big breath as she finished the last note, still in that semi in between dream world; where there was no one there but her and Finn. Finn Hudson sitting dead centre right in the middle with that beautiful lopsided smile watching her belt out their song. Or as Rachel liked to refer to it as her ode or dedication to their love story, the only problem was someone kept calling her name out during the performance.
"RACHEL!" the sound of her name finally brought her back to reality and she once again found herself on the stage with her director Rupert shouting her name.
"Rachel! You left us there for a bit. Are you okay? We can't have our star performer get sick two days out from opening night!" a flustered Rupert questioned his leading lady as he climbed up onto the stage.
"Yeah! Don't worry, Rupert I'm fine. I was just caught up in the emotion of the song is all." Rachel replied back to her director as she accepted a towel and a bottle of water from one of the assistants walking across the stage.
"Well as long as you're okay! I could tell you were channeling the emotion of the song. If you sing it exactly like that on opening night, this musical is going to be a sure fire success. Now that's the end of rehearsals for today so go do whatever it is kids your age do for fun these days. But don't have too much fun because we need you in one piece back here belting your little heart out in front of thousands of fans in two days time. Ciao!" and with that Rupert gave a tired Rachel a hug before grabbing his belongings and heading out of the theatre.
Just like that Rachel was alone again in the theatre but this time it was reality not her subconscious mind. She sat there on the stage picturing the audience all sitting in there seats. The picture was so vivid she could also see Finn her dads, Burt and Carole, Kurt, Blaine alongside all her other friends all sitting there excitedly ready to watch her Broadway stage debut.
The looks of expectations she could see on the audience faces and especially her friends faces is what made her the most nervous. She could handle the performance, the songs, choreography and acting but what terrified her was potentially being the one who screwed up a classic. For then her name would be synonymous with being the girl who destroyed Funny Girl.
Then there was her Finn. She knew Finn didn't care one iota about being a celebrity or any of that stuff. Just like she also knew that the only reason he showed any interest at all was because he knew it was her dream to see her name up in lights as she graced the hallowed boards of a true Broadway stage. She felt a sense of responsibility to not only succeed for her but also for Finn, and she knew if she ever told him that he would tell her that she only needed to succeed for herself. But she knew all to well the sacrifices the both of them had made to see this dream of hers become a reality. Finn would never in a million years try and take credit for any of her achievements but what he didn't realise is that he was often the wind beneath her wings, to borrow a line from the Bette Midler classic song. That support he offered unconditionally strengthened her and helped her realise the strength of character and will to succeed that she naturally possessed; would be two of her greatest companions in her journey to success. Just his friendship and companionship especially in times when no one would give her the time of day; was enough to warrant her undying thanks for life.
Rachel took her time and walked around the theatre soaking in as much as possible. She walked from the stage to her dressing room, then to wardrobe, makeup and onto the audience seating just letting the reality of the situation sink in. Running her hand along each surface of the theatre, made her wonder the history she was assimilating herself into. For instance what other Broadway stars had sat in this very dressing room where she was now. Were they freaking out about their performance just like she was or were they consummate professionals even back then? It made her think if their hopes and dreams were the same as hers and did they too feel like an outsider who didn't belong. Which brought her to her next thought that if they had finally found their home alongside their dreams or where the two exclusive and non-interchangeable.
Rachel would of kept up with her daydreaming had she not been brought back to reality by an angry text message from Santana. That basically said if she didn't get her skinny butt back to the loft she'd be sorry; because there was no way she was going to be the one explaining to the dad's Berry, why there innocent little daughter was the headline story on Dateline. Sending a quick text back saying she was on her way, Rachel turned off the lights and exited the theatre. She took one last look at the building that housed her dreams, as the next time she would be inside would be in preparation for opening night. Feeling too wrapped up in her thoughts and perceptions she decided against catching the subway. So she wrapped her coat tighter around herself and walked further down the street, ready to indulge herself and splurge on a cab.
Finn had just gotten out of another extremely long studio session with the temperamental Taylor Vaughn. Now that he had a few moments to himself all he wanted to do was grab some lunch and relax before going back for the afternoon session. He pulled out his lunch from the bar fridge he had in his office. He usually put his lunch in the main fridge in the staff common area but lately his lunch had mysteriously gone missing. But Finn had a good idea who the culprit was considering his lunch only seemed to go missing on days that Noah Puckerman was at the studio. So as an extra precaution and to make his lunch Puckerman proof he started leaving it in his office fridge.
Finn was relishing the silence of his office as he finished off the first half of his Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich with a side of Sourpatch Kids. It wasn't exactly the most nutritious lunch going around but it was a childhood favourite of his. He chuckled to himself as he thought what Rachel or his mum would say seeing him eat a lunch like this. He was sure they would lecture him about the importance of eating healthily and getting the appropriate amount of vitamins, starch, fibre and the like in each meal.
Just as he was about to start on the second half of his lunch, the phone in his office started to ring. Reaching across his desk begrudgingly, Finn picked up the phone.
"Hello"
"Sorry to bother you Mr. Hudson but I have a Dr. Levy from Lennox Hill Hospital on line 1 for you. I told him you were in the studio all day today, but he said it was urgent." Claire Finn's receptionist told him as she spoke through the phone.
"That's fine Claire! You can patch him through now." Finn calmly replied back even though he was dying of nerves inside. He heard the current line go dead and then a small click and the small red light on his phone next to line one came on indicating the call had been connected.
"Good afternoon Mr. Hudson. I hope the day has been treating you well?" came the aged voice of his doctor down the phone line.
"I can't complain, doc. So what news have you got for me?" Finn decided he just wanted to get right down to it without beating around the bush.
"Well Finn I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the results of your tests have come back and your tumour has been found to be benign, so that's good news. However the test's also found that your tumour is exerting pressure on certain parts of your brain. Which is what is affecting your occasional memory loss, headaches and motor skill problems. Now the best course of action is that we need to get you into surgery straight away to give ourselves the best chance of being able to remove the tumour. Otherwise if we allow it to continue to press on various areas of your brain the repercussions could be amplified or worst case permanent." Dr. Levy explained to Finn.
"So if I get the surgery done you can remove all of it and I would then be cured?" queried Finn.
"As a doctor I can never say that anybody is going to be one hundred percent cured of anything especially when talking about something like a brain tumour. But your particular tumour as I said before is a benign tumour and these tumours are often slow growing and are very unlikely to spread. But such as in your case they can press on and damage the surrounding brain tissue. The good thing about these types of tumours is that the tumour can be successfully removed with surgery." The doctor explained the ins and outs of Finn's particular type of tumour and the appropriate means of extraction to Finn.
"So how soon are we talking about here doc?
"Well Finn in your case I want you booked in for surgery as soon as possible because of the time that has already lapsed. So I can fit you into the next round of surgery times, which would be Friday the eleventh at three o'clock. The surgery should take anywhere between six to twelve hours." Dr. Levy listed off.
Finn groaned to himself as soon as he heard the date for that date was the very same date of Rachel's opening night on Broadway in two days time. "Is there any other available time because there is a very important engagement that night?"
"Finn I must stress to you the importance of getting this surgery as quickly as possible. I will leave an open booking for you at the time I previously mentioned and I will leave it to you to either confirm or cancel that appointment with my office before said time."
"Yes that would be fine thank you for your call doctor." And with that Finn hung up the phone and leaned back in his office chair.
He could get the surgery done straight away but that would mean missing Rachel's opening night. Or he could postpone the surgery and get in done straight after opening night. Finn thought to himself that what could an extra few days hurt in his surgery, because there was no way he was missing one of the biggest nights of Rachel's life. Ever since he had known her she'd had always told him how she wanted him front and centre in the first row so she could sing every song to him. You could call him delusional but his heart as it did in all matters concerning Rachel Berry overruled his brain and made the decision for him. He just hoped it was the right decision and it wouldn't come back and bite him in the ass.
"You suck!"
"Whoever made the decision to cast the unknown hobbit from Ohio should be sacked!"
"Get a nose job!"
Congratulations Rachel Berry you just killed Funny Girl!"
"I didn't know Funny Girl could get anymore Jewish, but I was proven wrong by the casting of Rachel Berry."
"Thanks to Rachel Berry Funny Girl should now be called BORING Girl!"
"Never heard of Rachel Berry don't worry her performance as Fanny Brice is so forgettable you won't need to know her name!"
Kurt woke up with a start due to the fact he could hear noises coming from Rachel's room. It was especially weird that these noises seemed to be saying the meanest things about her. Kurt got up out of bed and pulled on his silk robe before making his way across the loft to Rachel's room. Upon entering Rachel's room Kurt was shocked to discover Rachel sitting crossed legged on the bed surrounded by different newspapers and her laptop open on her lap, streaming reviews of Funny Girls rehearsal shows. Rachel was so engrossed in the different hateful reviews she was watching she didn't even notice Kurt entering the room. After hearing the very latest hateful review that said, never again would I be able to watch Funny Girl without wanting to punch Rachel Berry in the face for making all those stupid faces while singing. Kurt had enough and marched across and slammed her laptop closed snapping her back to reality.
"Come on Rachel! We told you not to watch any of these stupid reviews. It's only going to psych you out." Kurt told his friend while sitting on the bed and pulling her into a hug.
"Sorry!" Rachel managed to sniffle out.
"Don't be sorry Diva, just try and get some rest okay!" Kurt soothed her while laying her back on the bed and pulling the covers over his friend. Rachel just nodded and pulled the covers tighter around herself before Kurt tiptoed out of the room.
Kurt hurried over to open the loft door as soon as he heard the knocking bright and early the next morning. He slid the door open to reveal Blaine, Sam, and Mercedes.
"Hey guys it's bad! Rachel was up all night watching basically every negative review she could find. Now she refuses to get out of bed and says she's not going to go on tomorrow night." Kurt worriedly told his friends while ushering them into the apartment
"Don't worry Kurt I got this! She just needs a talk from one superstar to another!" Blaine told the group oblivious to their stares of wondering if Blaine was joking.
They all watched as Blaine strode across the loft and knocked before entering Rachel's bedroom. Where he found the brunette diva still wrapped up tight in her cocoon of pillows and blankets.
"What do you want Blaine?" snapped Rachel.
"Hi there! Kurt told us you were having some trouble after listening to some bad reviews online. Would you like to hear a story?" Blaine tried to say soothingly to tempt Rachel to engage in communication. Blaine took her meek nodding to mean for him to continue so he did.
"My first experience on the stage was when I was seven years old. We were doing a production of Annie and they originally offered me the role of one of the orphans. But did I stand for that…NO! I said I will be playing the role of Daddy Warbucks and I showed them, as I was the best damn Daddy Warbucks ever seen in a production run by seven year olds. From there my theatre career just skyrocketed, as the public couldn't get enough of my natural charisma and outstanding vocal range.
I was the lead in everything from Annie Get Your Gun to High School Musical and also in my highly controversial role in Equus. If those people didn't want to see a naked fifteen year old parading around on stage with a fake horse he borrowed from the daycare next door they shouldn't have come! Anyway did I let those people get me down? The answer is no because then I lead the Dalton Academy Warblers to championship after championship. Then I even graced the stage with you in West Side Story. How was I by the way? It was weird we only seemed to do one performance and then it just seemed to be forgotten…" Blaine looked over and saw Rachel giving him the deadliest glare he had ever seen.
"NOT HELPING BLAINE!" yelled Rachel.
"Right! Before I leave can you just give my West Side Story performance a mark out of ten?"
The others still sitting in the living room of the loft all turned at the sight of a shrieking Blaine running from Rachel's room. Adding to the spectacle was seconds after his abrupt departure was Rachel's hairbrush flying through the open door narrowly missing Blaine's head.
Blaine hunched over trying to regain his breath and turned to the others and said, "Who knew she had such a great throwing arm?" before they all heard Rachel shout from her room. "Finn taught me how to throw! NOW SHUT UP!"
Mercedes was the next to stand up and try, she walked over to Rachel's room and gave a quick knock before entering. "Hi little diva!" Mercedes called out enthusiastically.
Rachel just turned over to the side opposite Mercedes so she was facing away from her friend.
"Okay then! I know you've been having a little bit of trouble recently and do you want to know what helps me when I'm feeling a little bit down…" Mercedes question was met with silence so she cleared her throat and continued. "So I know your Jewish and I'm Christian and we differ on the whole Jesus thing. But what we do agree on is that God is God. So when I need a pick me up I just take a moment to myself and have a chat with the man upstairs. Do you want to pray with me Rachel?"
Rachel just reached across and turned on the radio beside her bed and kept on turning the volume up every time Mercedes tried to call out her name. "Alright Rachel! I get the picture I'm leaving now you can go back to your depression." And as soon as Mercedes stood up from her seat, Rachel reached across and turned the radio off, blanketing the room once again into silence.
The other's watched as Mercedes walked calmly out of Rachel's room and into the kitchen and started making herself a coffee. Kurt was on the edge of his seat in expectation of what Mercedes said about her visit with Rachel. The African American diva took her time and when the kettle boiled she said, "I'm out of ideas even a chat with my main man, God didn't help!"
The attention of the friends was drawn to the loft door as it opened and in walked Santana, Dani and Puck. The arriving trio was to busy with their ongoing conversation to notice the four sets of eye's trained on them. Santana was the first to notice that they weren't alone in the loft.
"AY DIOS MIO!" screamed Santana as she put her hand to her chest.
Kurt just smirked and said; "Care to explain where you three have been so early in the morning?"
"Get your mind out of the gutter, Hummelina! We just went and had breakfast at the diner. Is that okay with you?" Santana sneered back as she plopped herself down on the couch between her friends and turned on the TV.
"Umm! Santana where actually in the middle of something!" Mercedes told her Latina friend.
Sam stood up and grabbed his guitar before very quickly filling in Santana, Dani and Puck on the events about Rachel and all the failed attempts from the others. But before he could walk off Santana called out, "What makes you think she'll listen to you, Trouty?"
Sam simply held up his guitar and said, "She'll listen because I'm going to use the power of song!" and then turned and walked off to Rachel's room. After giving three quick rhythmic knocks, Sam entered her room.
"Hi Rachel it's me Sam. Don't worry after I sing you this little tune your frown is going to instantly turn upside down and all your rainy days will be filled with sunshine. Okay here goes."
Sam started strumming his guitar as he started to sing…
Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
Oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Don't worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no place to lay your head….
All of a sudden the playing of his guitar stopped as Rachel reached across and cut the strings of his guitar. She just sat in the middle of the bed staring at him as in really you thought that song was going to solve all my problems. Sam just stood up and slowly backed out of the room, slightly fearing what else Rachel was capable of.
"No luck Sam?" Blaine questioned his friend, as he was the first to notice Sam leave Rachel's room.
"She cut the strings on my favourite guitar!" Sam said on the verge of tears and holding up the guitar with the strings clearly cut. Mercedes came over and started to comfort a distraught Sam while Santana proceeded to laugh and laugh.
"Have you got a better idea Santana or are you just going to sit there and laugh at other people's misfortune?" Mercedes asked her friend while still rubbing her boyfriends back soothingly.
"Your damn right I got an idea how to get man-hands out of bed!" Santana marched off to the kitchen and started filling the biggest pot they had with water before marching over towards Rachel's room. Kurt and Blaine, who made her put the pot back, intercepted Santana halfway to Rachel's room.
"Santana you can't just go in there and throw a bucket of water on her!" exclaimed Kurt. To which Santana just shrugged before sitting back down and exclaiming. "Then I got nothing!"
Puck just sat back and watched his friends sit there and squabble over how to fix Rachel before he had finally had enough and stepped in. "Shut up! Just shut up for a second!"
"Oh please wise old Puck is going to impart some wisdom on us!" mocked Santana.
Puck took it all in his stride as he stood in front of his friends, "Actually that's exactly what I'm going to do Santana! Who is the only person known to mankind who can get Rachel Berry to do something she doesn't want to do?" taking a moments silence Puck spoke up again, "Bzzzzz, too late! The other half of Finchel, the man we call Finn Hudson!"
"Oh My God Finn! How could I be so stupid, of course my brother would be the only person Rachel listens to!" Kurt exclaimed out loud palming himself on the forehead for his stupidity. He jumped out of his chair and ran to get his phone from his room.
"Kurt really is the worst brother in the world isn't he?" joked Blaine.
Before Blaine could even finish joking, Kurt let out a loud retort from his room. "I can hear you Blaine!" to which everybody just started laughing.
Finn had just finished getting dressed after a nice long hot shower and was ready to enjoy the peace and quiet of his apartment. He didn't know where Puck was and in that moment he really didn't want to look the gift horse in the mouth so to speak. So he sat down on his patio with his coffee and the local paper and Billboard magazine. Ever since Finn had found his calling as a singer/songwriter/label executive he found he loved keeping up to date with the goings on of the business through the different papers. Man if his mum could see him now. Back in high school she used to have to bribe him with food and not being able to see Rachel to get him to read anything. Now the new and improved Finn Hudson was actually reading for fun and who knew you could actually stay informed through reading. Just as Finn was wondering if anybody else in the world was using his secret his phone started ringing.
Picking up his phone and noticing his brother's name popping up on the screen, he quickly swiped his phone to gain access. A million different scary thoughts were running through Finn's head. What if something had happened to Burt? Or heaven forbid what if something had happened to his mother? His last thought was the scariest thought yet, what if something had happened to Rachel?
Not wanting to delay any further Finn answered the phone, "Hello".
"Thank God your home Finn! You need to get over here straight away!" Kurt said frantically.
"Why? What's happened? Are you hurt? Is it Rachel? Burt? Not my Mum?" Finn yelled worriedly down the phone.
Finn listened to his brother fill him in on the predicament with Rachel happening over at the loft. He also told Finn about the futile attempts from the other Gleeks and how Rachel had a negative reaction to all of them. Finn told Kurt he'd be there as soon as he could as he hung up the phone.
He ran into his room and grabbed the one thing he needed before coming back out and pulling on his jacket and grabbing his keys and phone. By the time he made his way downstairs Finn's doorman Tony had already managed to have a cab ready and waiting for him as soon as he was ready. After thanking Tony Finn jumped into the cab and busied himself making some quick calls on the way over to the loft.
Finn ran up the flights of stairs and knocked on the loft door. Kurt opened the door letting him inside where he saw the living room crowded with people. There was Santana, Dani, Mercedes, Sam, Puck, Kurt and Blaine all sitting around waiting for him.
Not even bothering to say hi, Finn immediately went into the kitchen and pulled out two mugs. In one he made his regular coffee while in the other he pulled out a small box from his coat and removed a single teabag from the box that he put in the other mug. He filled both with steaming hot water and let the aroma of each waft up to his nose. Smelling the tea, Finn scrunched his face up a little at the smell that indicated it was ready. Finn silently picked up the two mugs and made his way over to Rachel's room. Giving a brief knock before entering the room, Finn put the tea on Rachel's bedside table and then went over to Rachel's study table and pulled the chair out and sat down.
Finn didn't say a single word he just sat there and sipped his coffee seemingly lost in thought. It wasn't long before Rachel broke the silence, "I was wondering when they were going to send for you?" she muttered from underneath the covers.
Finn just gave a slight smirk, "Well you were correct and I'm here" before quietly going back to sipping his coffee and playing angry birds on his phone.
Rachel sat up in bed confused as she looked over at Finn sipping his coffee and playing on his phone. Wasn't he supposed to be trying to take away her depression? So why was he just sitting there like he's at some tea party or something? The intoxicating smell of liquorice wafting through the air caught Rachel's nose and she turned and saw a steaming cup of her favourite tea, Liquorice Root Tea. Always before a performance of any kind she always drank this type of tea and nothing else apart from water. This tea was rated the best tea for a singer's voice. It was rated so highly because it aids in digestion and it somewhat numbs the back of your throat just, a little which is fabulous for singers who are performing night after night.
Reaching over and taking the cup of tea and taking a sip Rachel let out a contented. "Mmm! Liquorice Root Tea my favourite. I can't believe you remembered Finn! Where did you find some I've been looking for ages for a store that stocks this type of tea?" asked Rachel in between contented sips of her tea.
Finn put his phone down and looked at Rachel, "I know a guy who just opened up a health food store near where I live and he specially stocks some Liquorice Root Tea just for me. So I picked some up on my way over." And then Finn went straight back to his game of angry birds.
"But you hate Liquorice Tea?" Rachel said confused.
"That's correct I do. I can't stand the stuff! But I remember someone telling me once how great it was for singers; and I just happened to know a singer who was going to be singing every night. So in order for her to give her best performance to her adoring fans I set up a special order with my guy. So this bright shining star I know doesn't have to worry about her voice." And just like that the silence resumed as Finn went back to his game, but not before missing the smile directed his way from Rachel.
Rachel and Finn just sat there for a while in silence both sipping away at their respective beverages. Before Rachel couldn't take it anymore, "So what's your novel way of cheering me up Finn?"
Not even bothering to look up Finn just replied, "No novel way. I know you'll tell me when you're ready so this is it. Unless you ready to talk, that is?" this time Finn looked directly at Rachel awaiting the answer to his question.
Figuring she may as well just tell Finn, so she started explaining, "Fine! You want to know what's wrong everybody hates me and I'm going to suck tomorrow night as Fanny Brice ruining Funny Girl forever!" Rachel said rather dramatically.
Finn just briefly looked up and said, "That's Bullshit Rachel!" before once again returning to his phone.
"EXCUSE ME!" Rachel roared as she jumped out of bed and got into her classic Rachel Berry pose of her tiny hands on her hips staring death beams at Finn.
An unperturbed Finn just looked at the beautiful brunet diva that was trying to look intimidating but Finn just thought she looked sexy as hell. "I said that what you said was bullshit Rachel…do you need me to write it down for you?"
Meanwhile out in the living room the others who were still there congregated together could hear everything that was going on. So deciding to find an even better spot to eavesdrop from they all scattered to locations around the outside of Rachel's room.
"I thought my boyfriend was supposed to encourage me!" Rachel yelled back realising all to late her slip of the tongue.
"So that's what I am! Where you ever planning on telling me that?" Finn boomed back.
Rachel sat back down on the bed her sullen mood returning ten fold. "Finn that's not fare!"
"Your right it isn't fare and that's a discussion for another day. But I stand by my previous statement that you're full of bullshit Rachel!" Finn replied back to a shocked Rachel.
"How so?"
"Well let's take a look at your statement. First of all you said that everybody hates me. Well you definitely got that one wrong! Because I for one don't hate you and there's about seven people thinking there being really stealthy who are clearly eavesdropping right now that don't hate you either. Also I can list another dozen or so names of people back in Lima who don't hate you." Finn said trying to prove a point.
"That's different Finn and you know it!" Rachel answered back.
"Is it? I'm not so sure. These Internet trolls or whatever they are wouldn't know talent if it hit them square in the face. Why are you worried if a handful of people in who knows where, like you or not? The Rachel berry I know and fell in love with wouldn't give a shit! In fact she'd use it as extra motivation to prove those jealous, delusional nobodies wrong!" Finn reached over and grabbed the item he brought from his apartment and handed it to Rachel. "Here I brought you something."
Rachel looked at the item not quite sure why Finn had handed her an old McKinley High yearbook. "Umm Finn! Why did you give me an old edition of the McKinley High Thunderclap?"
"Turn to page 38"
Rachel flicked through the pages of the Thunderclap before reaching page 38 and gasped at what she saw. There on page 38 under a big bold header that read Glee Club 2008, was a picture of the Glee Club all huddled close with Artie holding the sign in the middle; all smiling for the reintroduction of a Glee Club photo to the yearbook in who knows how long. Rachel could remember that day like it was yesterday. The feelings of nervousness and being scared to what the rest of the school would think about the Glee Club. Her so-called peers vandalising and defacing pictures of the Glee Club in multiple Thunderclaps later proved those fears accurate.
"I can't believe you kept this! I thought you threw yours out just like everyone else!" Rachel said starting to get slightly emotional as she continued flicking through the pages.
"Flip to the back and read the comments and you'll find why I decided not to throw it away." Finn said casually.
Rachel did as Finn asked and flipped to the comments section in the back and started reading some of the comments. At first she was confused because they were the typical hero worship comments directed towards the star quarterback, but as she kept reading the comments took a decidedly nasty turn. Gone were the vivid descriptions of what a dreamboat the girls at McKinley thought Finn was and in their place were the vilest, nastiest words Rachel had read or seen in a long time. They ranged from calling Finn a faggot, threatening Kurt, threatening her all the way to even saying things about his dead father, just for joining an extra curricular activity such as Glee.
Rachel had no idea and she guessed the rest of their friends didn't either. They all thought popular talented Finn adored by everyone. But she guessed it really was true what they say that there's a seedy underbelly to any picture perfect postcard.
"Why would you keep this? Also why didn't you tell me…or anyone?"
Finn moved to sit alongside her on the bed, "I kept this because it shows my past, my fears, my insecurities…"
"You don't actually believe this crap do you Finn?" Rachel interrupted starting to get angry even though these things were done years ago.
"No I don't believe them! But I'm sad to say at the time I did. I didn't tell anyone about the harassment or bullying because I knew there were kids in Glee and even kids not in Glee who were getting bullied way worse than I was. Plus I was supposed to be the leader; I was supposed to be the example not only to you guys but also to the school. That you could do what you loved regardless of the social stigmas and connotations surrounding whatever it is you wanted to do…" Finn stopped speaking as he watched Rachel staring at him in a way he hadn't seen her stare at him in a long time. Her eyes were extremely dark and hooded and she was biting her lip hard as she continued to stare at Finn. "Rach, are you okay?"
Rachel just silently nodded before speaking, "It's just hearing you use all those big words…it's so damn HOT! If you were wearing glasses right now, I swear to you Finn Hudson I wouldn't be able to be held accountable for my actions!"
Finn just smirked that trademark Hudson smirk that caused Rachel to bite that lip of hers even harder and grip the blanket in her tiny fists. "Good to know! I'll file that one away for use later. Anyway! I was supposed to be a leader…but I failed just like I failed at a lot of other things. During my short stint in the army I managed to have a few conversation with one of the major's. He explained to me after I told him my story that the greatest leaders are also the most fallible. Then he told me something Nelson Mandela said that just really stuck with me. He said,
"A leader…is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realising that all along they are being directed from behind."
That's what I've always tried to do, be the encouragement, the foundation, the safety net, while the people I love jump from the nest and spread their wings for the first time. I didn't realise it at the time but the amount of satisfaction and joy you receive from watching people you've helped soar like eagles is immense; and that's exactly how I feel about you Rachel I wanted to be the rock from which you soared from…and you did. But now I want something in life, I want my life to mean something. That's why I kept those mean comments in the yearbook, because they make me mad, they ignite anger inside me I never thought I was capable of.
But instead of doing what most people do and let that anger out in the form of violence. I've instead tried to funnel that aggression and anger into a healthier alternative. I use all that emotion to remind me what I'm working for…so at the end of the day when I sitting back contemplating my life and successes. I can look back at these narrow minded individuals and tilt my hat in thanks that I amounted to something regardless of their scorn and ridicule."
With that Finn reached over and grabbed one of the hateful reviews Rachel received and cut it out of the paper and pulled out an empty picture frame from his jacket and stuck it in. Finn showed the frame to Rachel and she noticed it was a double picture frame.
"You're jacket is just like Mary Poppins with her bottomless bag Finn!" joked Rachel.
"The first side is for these reviews…" Finn said pointing to the collection of hateful reviews Rachel had found. "Now this side is for the review you get after opening night detailing how wonderful and how exceedingly bright you shined on that Broadway stage as Fanny Brice. You can put them side-by-side so anytime in the future when you're feeling this way. All you have to do is look and you will see that you Ms. Berry are bigger than a star you're a freaking supernova!"
Rachel just laughed and replied through her tears, "You and Sam been watching Discovery Science again?"
Finn held up his hands in surrender and cheekily replied, "Guilty!"
Rachel just launched herself at Finn and mumbled into his chest multiple mentions of thanks. The knocking on the loft door cut the embrace short, especially when Finn jumped up and exclaimed. "Arh! Right on time!"
A confused Rachel just looked at Finn and said, "Finn what's going on?"
A smirking Finn just grabbed her hand and led her back into the living room of the loft. As they entered all of their eavesdropping friends scattered to different locations around the loft like cockroaches when the light is turned on. Rachel sat down on the couch as Finn went and opened the door. Upon the opening of the door everybody except Finn was surprised to see a small army armed with dresses, makeup and other tools of the trade. Finn greeted a small Asian American lady with kisses on both cheeks before ushering her and her team inside.
"Hey guys this is…" before Finn could finish there was a loud crash which was one Kurt Hummel fainting at the sight of the small woman. Blaine gingerly picked up his boyfriend and sat him down on one of the couches and fanned him until he came to again. "As I was saying this is Suki Hato-Lee who is a word class designer who gratefully decided to come over with her team to spruce everyone up."
"Thank you Finn darling! You're too kind! Now where is this beauty you keep telling me so much about?" Suki called out dramatically.
Finn took Suki over to Rachel and introduced them, "Suki this is the beyond talented and gorgeous Ms. Rachel Berry!"
Suki just looked Rachel over and made her standup and turns around before pulling her face in multiple directions all the while letting out little noises. "My God Finn! This little minx is even more pretty than you described!" Suki then turned back to a still shocked Rachel and said. "Now Darling can I just say that I'm a tad jealous of your tight ass and long legs! If I was blessed with those attributes I'd show them off too!"
A confused Rachel looked down and realised she was still wearing her extremely short sleep shorts. So she dived back for the couch and quickly pulled a blanket over her lower half.
"Don't worry about it darling! In my profession half naked people are as common as taxes. Now Finn…Finn darling! Here is your suit, now go be a dear and put it on while my team and I work our magic on these fine friends of yours…okay!"
Finn walked off just as the other guys did to go put their suits on while Suki and her tam descended upon the girls to get them ready.
A Couple of hours later…
Finn was sitting on the lounge waiting for Rachel to be ready to go. Finn looked up and saw Suki coming out of Rachel's room and announcing the arrival of Broadway's newest star, Rachel Berry. His jaw almost completely dropped to the ground as he saw the lovely vision that was Rachel Berry step foot into the room. Rachel was dressed in a dress similar to the dress she wore to her senior prom and Finn had to agree with his younger self because back then he thought she looked gorgeous and today she looked beyond that if possible.
Rachel looked around and noticed the lack of people and the quietness, which was spooky because the loft was hardly ever quiet. "Where is everyone?"
"They're going to meet up with us later. Come on let's go!" Finn said while following Rachel to the front door as well as thanking Suki and her team.
Finn and Rachel walked down to the front of the building the loft was in just as an expensive looking limo pulled up right next to them. "What is all of this Finn?" Rachel asked as Finn and the driver helped her inside the limo.
"Well if you needed anymore proof that you're absolutely, positively going to kill tomorrow night in your stage debut. I'm going to show you the life that will be yours after opening night. So if you don't go on, you don't get this life."
Rachel just snuggled herself further into the arms of Finn as they drove along the New York City streets. The limo pulled up to the very first location of the day, which was a location very familiar to both Finn and Rachel. Rachel looked out the window to see where they were and squealed with excitement as she realised where she was. "Oh My God Finn, Sardi's! How did you get a booking, they've been booked solid for weeks."
"I didn't get a booking, you did with your star power Ms. Berry Broadway superstar!" Finn said vaguely along with his usual smirk.
Rachel didn't have a clue what was going on as she hadn't even been on Broadway yet so how could her star power get them a table at Sardi's. But she trusted Finn so she went along with it. They entered the restaurant where they were met by the headwaiter.
"It's so nice to see you Mr. Hudson and the wonderfully talented, Ms. Berry can I just say I absolutely adored you in Funny Girl and I cannot wait to see what your in next!"
"Umm! Thank you…I think!" Rachel said becoming even more confused.
They followed the waiter through the tables until he showed them their table in a reserved section off to the side. They ate a quiet lunch together both reminiscing about their other meal together at Sardi's. Unfortunately this particular meal wasn't blessed by a visit by Broadway legend Patti LuPone like there last one was. Not that it stopped Rachel from celebrity spotting every chance she could during the meal with little luck.
Just as they were preparing to leave the headwaiter returned and said to Rachel. "Before you leave Ms. Berry can I just say you're even prettier in person than you are in your picture."
"My Picture?" Rachel said confused.
"Yes your Sardi's caricature that's been on our walls ever since your record breaking run in Funny Girl. Here let me show you!" The waiter replied back.
Rachel and Finn followed the waiter to a spot on the wall where the Broadway stars caricatures were and Rachel almost fainted as the waiter pointed to one of them. There sitting alongside some of the other Broadway greats was a caricature of Rachel Berry signed by Sardi's latest resident artist in charge of caricatures, Richard Baratz.
The waiter handed Rachel the caricature and said, "Here you can take that one with you our artist can just create another one."
A giddy Rachel holding her Sardi's caricature in an extremely tight death grip alongside Finn exited the famous New York restaurant. But before they could get back into the car they were stopped by a group of girls.
"Oh My God! Your Rachel Berry the star of Funny Girl! Can I please get a picture and a autograph?"
"Sure!" Rachel said as she politely signed her autograph for each girl as well as posed for pictures. She waved goodbye to the group of girls as she once again settled in beside Finn inside the limo.
"Don't think I don't know what your doing!" accused Rachel good naturedly as she playfully pointed her finger at Finn.
Finn just laughed as he pulled her closer so he could wrap his arms around her. "I have no idea what you're talking about Rach."
Rachel jus gave him an incredulous look before snuggling back into his arms, "If you say so Mr. Hudson."
The limo took off to the next unknown location on the Finchel Adventure Ride. Not a long drive from Sardi's the limo pulled up outside a rather large looking theatre. Rachel gasped at this new location just as she did the first. "Holy Crap Finn! That's Radio City Music Hall! Did you know that's where the Tony Awards are held?"
"Really? Who would have thought huh!" Finn replied to his beautiful date as he helped her from the limo and into the theatre. Finn just listened as Rachel prattled off Tony trivia after Tony trivia as he walked her into a huge theatre and instructed her to sit in one of the seats and told her he'd be back.
Rachel sat nervously alone inside the massive theatre when all of a sudden the stage lights came on momentarily blinding her. To say she was shocked would have been an understatement, because out on the stage strolled none other then Kurt Hummel dressed to the nines.
"Hello everybody and welcome to the very first inaugural Rachel Berry Tony Awards! Before we get to the awards we have a musical performance from Finn Hudson, Blaine Anderson, Samuel Evans, Noah Puckerman and Ryder Lynn…take it away boys!" Kurt called out as he stepped into the shadow and out walked the five guys mentioned by Kurt.
They each had a microphone and Finn walked up to the front of the stage and said. "This one's going out to a very special little lady who just so happens to be my girl from New York City!" and then the guys started harmonizing a cappella…
Ooh wah, ooh wah she's so pretty
Tell us about the girl from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah she's so pretty
Tell us about the girl from New York City
She's kind of small
She's really fine
Some day I hope to make her mine, all mine
And she's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way she looked at me
She swept me off my feet
Ooh whee, you ought to come and see
How she walks
And how she talks
Ooh wah, ooh wah she's so pretty
Tell us about the girl from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah she's so pretty
Tell us about the girl from New York City
Ooh wah, ooh wah she's so pretty
Tell us about the girl from New York City
The boys all bowed before Finn made his way down and sat beside Rachel who had tears pouring out of her eyes. She gave Finn a big kiss before Kurt came back out onto the stage.
"Wow! What a performance that was ladies and gentleman! Let's give the boys another round of applause. Before we get into the awards let's have a brief message from our sponsors.
After some pushing Santana finally made her way out onto the stage and held up the microphone.
"Let's face it there are good kinds of yeast and bad kinds of yeast. But bad yeast goes scat with Yeast-I-Stat!" Santana recited as she held up the packaging for Yeast-I-Stat. "Burns and Itch are a thing of the past as Yeast-I-Stat's easy 7-step patented application makes feeling fresh a breeze," she continued while giving a big smile and a small giggle. "I like yeast on my bagel but not on my muffin!" Santana walked off stage but not before saying, "Your lucky I like you Berry!"
"Right thanks for that Santana! Now we have a very special guest to present the next award. Ladies and Gentleman please give a huge round of applause for Patti LuPone!"
Rachel who was still balling her eyes out turned to Finn at the mention of the next presenter. Finn just held her tighter and gave a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders before they both turned their attention back to the stage.
"Hi everybody! I've been asked to present the next award so my granddaughter can get some concert tickets. Also I remember these two from a chance run in at Sardi's. Meeting these two was like walking into a real life production of Romeo and Juliet they were that in love. The electricity between the two could've powered Broadway for a whole night. Anyway I'm here to announce the nominees for the vegan chocolate Tony Award for Best Actress in a musical. First we have Kurt Hummel in that time he saw a spider…"
"REAL FUNNY SANTANA!" yelled Kurt from offstage.
"Thanks Kurt!" Santana yelled back.
"Second we have Rachel in the shower when Santana flushes the toilet and lastly we have Rachel again for her performance in Funny Girl. Drum roll please…"
Ryder gave out a drum roll on a pair of upturned buckets on the side of the stage. "And the winner of the Vegan Chocolate Tony is…Rachel Berry for Funny Girl!"
Rachel after a lot of prodding from Finn managed to find her way up onto the stage and nervously accepted her fake Tony award from one of her idols. Who then said, "Where did that pretty Latina girl go? I want to ask her more about that Yeast-I-Stat stuff!"
Rachel stood in the middle of the stage holding her fake award but to her it felt more real and held more sentiment then any award she could receive in real life. Letting out a watery smile as she could see all her friends now in the audience section yelling out speech, speech!
"Wow my first Vegan Tony's and I win an award! I really thought the award was going to go to Kurt for that time he saw a spider. Never have I heard Kurt hit such high a note and hold it for so long. Okay thank you all for blessing me with your friendship and Finn thank you for this time remembering I am a vegan/vegetarian…" which started everyone laughing. "But seriously thank you for showing me the value of humanity and for showing me I had strengths I never knew about.
Lastly right now in front of all our friends and the weird janitor whose been staring at us for the past half an hour. I would like to say to Finn especially…I'M HOME BABY! Before you ask yes I mean it in every sense of the word. I told you I wanted to wait, but over the last couple of days I've seriously been asking myself what am I actually waiting for. I have a wonderful career, friends that I love, a home and if I pull my finger out…you can all thank Noah for that expression…I could top it all off by having my home, my strength, the wind beneath my wings…my Finny back. So what do you say Finn, do you want to go home with me?"
"WANKY!" Santana called out.
"SHUT UP SANTANA!" shouted everyone in the room even the weird janitor.
Finn ran as fast as he could up to the stage and grabbed Rachel in the biggest bear hug he could manage. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow as he spun her around and around as she was giggling like crazy.
"HELL YES I'LL GO HOME WITH YOU!" Finn replied excitedly while holding Rachel's face between his hands.
"I guess that means it's time for another all night Call of Duty marathon at Sam and Blaine's then." Puck called out.
"Sorry Bro!" Finn tried to apologise even though he was the complete opposite of sorry.
Rachel looked down and noticed her Fake Chocolate Tony award in pieces on the ground. They must have smashed it as her and Finn were reconciling. "Awwh! Finn you destroyed my Tony award!" pouted Rachel.
"Don't worry baby! I'll buy you another one. Hell I'll buy you fifty! Now you have to go take a seat so the last part of the night can happen and then we can get to the fun stuff." Finn said while wiggling his eyebrows.
Once everyone was seated again Finn grabbed a top hat and cane, then started the music and hit a switch that lit up Rachel's name in huge bright letters behind him…
I'll dance and I'll sing I'll do anything
Just to get my name in lights
I've got to try to hit the heights
Now that I'm free as the breeze again
Old nimble knees again
Everyone started laughing as Finn started Dancing with his top hat and cane across the stage.
And soon they'll all know my name
I'll have fortune and fame
When I get my name in lights
It can happen overnight in these modern times
Here in the Jazz Age
The world is at a crazy stage
You can be famous and cause a panic
If you slick back your hair
Then you'll fly the Atlantic
And that's why
I won't let go till I'm on the radio
And when they come to see the sights
That will be my name spelt right
Lighting up Times Square
I'll sit on a flag pole
Whatever's the rage
Just to get my picture on the front page
Just to get my name in lights
Finn posed in front of the stage lights as if he was getting his picture taken by hundreds of photographers….
I'm living life on this very day
New York I'm on my way!
I'll be known for my chop
My Sparkle and wit
Even Claraboya,
And admit…I got it!
When I get my name...
When I get my name...
When I get my name in light!
The music faded out and once again Rachel was out of her seat like a shot and tackled an out of breath Finn to the stage. Rachel was now straddled across Finn's waist as he lay on his back on the stage where she was smothering his face with kisses.
Just as Finn started returning Rachel's kisses they received a tap on the back from Kurt who reminded the couple they were still in a semi public place and that none of their friends wanted to see the two of them get it on. With only Puckerman getting slightly annoyed with Kurt for stopping the floor show. They separated and Finn went to go clean things up while Rachel was talking to the girls. Never once taking her eyes off Finn, a wicked thought entered Rachel's mind. For this to work she still hoped that Finn was still obsessed with the movie Top Gun…
"HEY FINN! YA BIG STUD!" Rachel screamed out across the theatre.
Finn just poked his head back out from behind the stage curtain and yelled back, "THAT'S ME HONEY!"
"TAKE ME TO BED…OR LOSE ME FOREVER!"
"SHOW ME THE WAY HOME HONEY!" Finn yelled back while picking Rachel up bridal style and while yelling goodbyes to their friends he ran them both out to the taxis.
Finn and Rachel slammed through the front door of his apartment in a tangled mess of clothes and limbs. Finn had no idea how they got back to the apartment he just knew they had. But just as Rachel once again sucked with vigour on his neck he really couldn't give a damn how they got home. They could've been beamed home by the Starship Enterprise or ran home as quick as The Flash but who really gives a shit when Rachel is doing that thing with her tongue…Oh My God!
Once safely inside the bedroom Finn busied himself removing that dress from Rachel's body. As he fumbled with the zipper he thought to himself, who knew dresses could incite so much emotion for a man while being worn by a girl, as well as the emotion of removing the dress from your girl. In Finn's mind whoever invented the dress must've been a Jedi Master or something.
Finally successful in removing Rachel's dress Finn just stood there completely stunned at the sight of Rachel in lingerie. Correction thought Finn, if the guy who invented dresses was a Jedi Master, than the guy who invented lingerie was a freaking God!
Rachel wanting Finn as naked as she was just simply strutted over to a still stunned Finn and grabbed his shirt and ripped it from his chest. The sight of buttons flying, who knows where around the room brought Finn out of his stupor. Rachel was now just staring at him and his pants, "Finn if you like those pants you have exactly five seconds to remove them, before I remove them the same way I did your shirt!"
Rachel started giggling to herself as she watched Finn frantically trying to remove his pants even though he still had his shoes on. After finally realising his shoes were in the road he kicked them off along with his pants that left him in nothing but his boxers covered in music notes.
Just as Rachel was about to attack him once again, Finn held up his hand and told her to wait a second and that he'd be right back. True to his word Finn came flying back around the corner after only a few minutes and put on a pair of glasses, that he still had left over from his Brad costume from Rocky Horror in high school.
He stood there looking at Rachel in pretty much his Brad costume, a pair of boxes and the black-framed glasses. "Molecules…Bunsen burner…nucleus…"
Rachel was sitting on the bed still in her lingerie laughing her head off, "Finn what the hell are you doing?"
"You said it turns you on when I use big words and you said if I was wearing glasses you wouldn't be able to help yourself! So is it working? Library…universe…photosynthesis…vegetarian!"
Rachel just grabbed Finn by the waistband of his boxes and yanked him onto the bed. "Finn you in general makes me hot!" and just like that the make out session resumed full throttle.
Finn started kissing a trail of small butterfly kissed down from Rachel's mouth to her neck, then to the swells of her breasts. Venturing even further downwards across her taught stomach towards the edge of her soaked panties. Finn delicately pulled Rachel's panties down his girl's endless legs. Even though he just wanted to rip the offending garment from her body, he remembered how pissed she used to get when he did that in high school. Once they were removed Finn wanted to be Suave and tease Rachel a bit by kissing up and down her legs. His own need to get reacquainted with Rachel Berry's delicate folds proved too much of a lure; so he dived in head first and went to work like a starving man at an all you can eat buffet.
Finn inserted two of his fingers to help hold Rachel open so his tongue could delve even further. The sounds emanating from the beautiful woman he was currently servicing was making Finn harder than he had ever been before. But right now the only thing he could think about was getting Rachel off with the biggest orgasm of her life, Finn Jr. would just have to wait his turn. Finn got into a steady rhythm of exploring Rachel with his tongue while alternating thrusts with his fingers topped off with small assaults on Rachel's clit.
"Finnnn! Oh My God! Fiiinnnn! Don't stop…don't stop…don't stop….FUCK!" Rachel was now screaming as she was pushing Finn's head with all her might down between her quivering legs. Finn kept up his oral assault on Rachel as he draped his arm across her stomach to keep her from arching to far off the bed. Finn could feel that Rachel was close so he started concentrating more on her clitoris which made Rachel buck and arch even more. But pretty soon the sound of Rachel screaming out at the top of her lungs rewarded Finn's persistence. "FUCK! I'M COMMMING!" and a surprised Finn was met by a forceful stream of ejaculate from Rachel's vagina, which knocked him back onto the bed.
"Holy Shit! Did I just make Rachel squirt?" Finn thought to himself.
Rachel looked down at Finn slightly embarrassed seeing Finn covered with her juices. "Umm! I don't know what happened! That's never happened to me before…it was just…just soooo good!"
Finn crawled up and cupped Rachel's face with his hands, "Don't you ever be sorry okay! That was amazing! I'm going to have to see if I can do that again!"
"All in good time Finny! But now its time I spend some time with my other favourite Hudson…Finny Jr." smirked Rachel as she reached down and gripped onto Finn's large erection causing him to groan.
Rachel eagerly yanked down Finn's boxes allowing his straining erection to spring free. She gently stroked his shaft up and down before leaning close to it and talking. "Hey Finny Jr. remember me? Don't worry I'm going to take good care of you!" she cooed before enveloping the tip of Finn's penis with her mouth.
Now it was Finn's turn to shout to the heavens as Rachel worked his rock hard shaft with her hands and mouth. Finn hadn't had to call on the mailman in a really, really long time, but with what Rachel was doing to him with her mouth he was calling on the whole damn US Postal service to prevent himself from shooting off early. Finn had to stop Rachel because he didn't want to just attend the floorshow he wanted to see the main event as well so to speak.
Rachel pushed Finn onto his back as she gasped that she wanted to be on top. Finn didn't mind one bit as he considered the sight of a naked Rachel Berry riding him to be the most erotic, sexiest thing he had ever seen. Rachel grasped Finn's throbbing erection one more time and guided it into her warm, moist tunnel and began to undulate her hips…rocking herself backwards and forwards on his cock.
"God! Finn…sooo good…almost there!" squealed Rachel as she kept up the movement of her hips as she tried grinding her core deeper onto Finn.
"Me Too Baby! Me Too. Yes! Oh God Rach! Right there! Hell yes!" Finn screamed alongside Rachel as he reached down and offered some assistance by rubbing her clit in time with the motions of Rachel's body.
It didn't take long until the both of them were screaming through the eruptions of their personal orgasms; as Rachel finally spent flopped her naked body down on top of Finn. Finn just lay there for a while with a contented smile on his face as he lovingly stroked Rachel's thick brunette locks.
The pair finally separated with Rachel rolling off to the side of Finn. "That was amazing!" Rachel gasped as she brushed back the sweaty hair in her face. To which Finn could only nod his head in agreement.
Rachel spun over and grasped Finn's softened manhood and gave it a light squeeze. "You think you can handle round 2?"
Finn just chuckled as he said, "What's gotten into you?"
"Hopefully you at least another four or so times tonight and who knows how many tomorrow!" Rachel replied back biting her lip as she stared at Finn's naked chest.
"Well your going to have to give me about five or so minutes to recharge the old batteries. Unless you can think of something else!"
Rachel reached across Finn and picked up the discarded glasses and put them on and stared at him as she sat crossed legged on the bed. "How about now? Renaissance…evolution…revolution…symbiosis"
Finn let out a loud audible groan as he could feel his manhood stirring at the sight of a naked Rachel in glasses. "Damn Rach! You don't play fair!"
"Well is it working?" Rachel said while laughing.
"Let me check!" Finn pulled the sheet up and ducked his head under which caused Rachel to laugh even more. Pulling his head above the covers once again Finn looked over and pulled Rachel onto his lap. "I think were good to go for round 2 Ms. Berry!" and that's exactly what they did well into the night, the couple easily surpassing the four extra times marker selected by Rachel. Thanks to their amorous nocturnal activities they both fell into a deep contented slumber entwined in each other's arms.
